I've digitized at 29.97, and cut at 29.97.
I never did pulldown removal on 24P.

There's a FAQ right at the top of this forum- start there.

If you shot in 24p then leave it captured in 2997.

24p is for that 24fps look in a 30fps timeline. If you aren't going to film or to DVD then just leave it the way it is.

IF you want to go to 24 for real, then you have to go through Cinema Tools to get it to 24.

Good luck,

If you shoot in 24pa, you can capture it in FCP using the advanced 2:3:3:2 pulldown removal (its one of the capture presets). Just make sure that you then edit in a 23.98 timeline. If you shoot 24p, you just capture it like any other regular video footage and edit in a regular 29.97 timeline.
